I am developing a small game with OpenGL that is like a frogger on its side type thing. I tried to give the .exe file to my friend and he can't open it because he needs glut also. I am more of an intermediate, but this is just a stupid problem where i am missing an obvious step.
Somewhere on your computer you should find glut32.dll (or glut64.dll). Take the appropriate one, depending on if your app targets a 32 or 64-bit platform, and place it in the same directory as your exe when you give it to your friend, or have them place it in the system path.
